Helicopters
Martin said we should do a helicopter count, and living where I do at the south end of the village it's difficult not to! They come over, morning and evening, in bunches of five, with each bunch spaced five minutes apart. This is much more noticeable in the evening: they come from the heliports between Knavesmire and the river, north of Manor Farm, and are routed south over the bend in the river - until they get near us, when they mostly turn south-west.
The nearest I can get to a count is a report from a fairly reliable source that there were 220 helicopters on the ground at one point on Wednesday, and presumably more on Thursday. I'll investigate further if I can!
